Silver Antique Dining Table...
Past client that purchased a painted white dresser from
us which we delivered to Austin for them.
She seen my blog loved my work,
asked if we could repair & repaint their large
antique dining table.
Here is the before below.
The table was so large that it sagged
in the middle. The leaves it had where only meant to
be in for a short time then taken out.
Although, she wanted them in forever.
John repaired that part.
Before below.
It had 7 layers of different paint under it.
When it was 1st painted it wasn't stripped.
So, the original paint, plus the what they painted over it with
black paint the silver paint then glazes...
you get the picture.
We stripped it which took about 2 to 3 days.
It was messy.
Primed it.
She previously wanted silver with champagne
detail. I used modern masters metallic paint
in silver & champagne.
I did one leg and showed her the picture.
She didn't like it, I thought it looked good.
It wasn't what she pictured so she went with all silver.
Here it is all silver.
The repair John did to stabilize the middle part of the
table. Very sturdy now.
Sealed in a water based semi gloss sealer
for protection.
Looks so amazing!! Matches really well with her decor.
French Chest Converted to Dress Up Armoire........
One of our awesome repeat clients, texted me
a picture of a chest converted into a dress up armoire.
I told her I've done one like that before like
3 years ago and showed it to her. (You can view it in
one of my previous post from the year 2013.)
She said we where awesome and asked if we had
any chests in our inventory.
So I showed her 3 I had and she picked this one.
She wanted it Simply White by Ben Moore with
silver handles. Then a wood closet rod to match it.
This is it in one whole picture....
Here is the before...
the feet where chipped off and missing...
John got to work on the building process...
added a wood back since the other was
that thick cardboard...
stripped it all down....
added wood sides and bottom....
repaired the feet and reshaped them...
John does such an awesome job....
can't even tell it was chipped off....
stone hard structure now will not chip off like the wood did....
I primed it then painted it all white....
primed and painted the wood rod and wood holders....
John installed it with the right measurements
so the hangers can be removed without
a problem...
stripped, primed, painted, and sealed the hardware....
our smooth flat thin finish....
It is so super cute! Her little girl is going to love it!
Thank you Brooke for thinking of us!

Black & Silver Serpent French Dresser Nightstand Set
This was furnished and custom painted for our new buyer Shelly. She loved my work and picked her pieces from my album, then made an appointment to view them and decide on colors. She picked black with brushed silver.
This was alot of work on the dresser, as you can see it was very cosmetically damaged. John did a FANTASTIC job on the repairs! He sanded and I primed...then I added mutilple coats of black on all pieces..
The nightstand needed no repair just sanded and primed...
We had to head out and get some handles, because the orginals where gone on most drawers...
I painted them black like the dresser then brushed silver...
This is the drawer that had one of the huge chunks of veneer and wood missing,
can't even tell...
painted the mirror black then brushed silver over the outer popped out parts...
the top looks gorgous so smooth and flat...as all our pieces do :)
Did the same for the nightstand...black with brushed silver...
smooth and flat texture :)
This is the set without the mirror....
and here it is complete once our work has been finished!
I LOVE IT!!! She did also:)
French Provincial Steel Grey Nightstand...
This was another of our furnished and custom pieces we did a this past weekend. One of our new buyers wanted this in a steel grey blue color. So I mixed some paints together and customized this color for her and hit it right on we both thought :)
This is the before...damaged 2nd drawer front...sanded and primed of course...
repaired drawer front...plus she wanted the handles silver..so we did that...
painted with 3 coats of the steel blue paint...
Here is the after ...
It came out very nice :)
Custom order for new buyers Pink and Blue desk.....
This was furnished and painted for new buyers, they picked the colors a soft pink and blue. I added some bigger knobs on top drawers and painted them silver.

Hot Pink Dresser with Shelf
This was a custom order for one of my new buyers. She wanted my hot pink color I have used before with silver handles. This one was missing a drawer, so we added a shelf.
Sealed up the nicks and dents on the sides.....
sanded and primed it.....added the shelf....
Here it is finished!!!
It is gorgeous!!
Old Renaissance Star Buffet that was Saved!
We found this piece, it was not taken care of as you can see. It had a hutch but it was damaged beyond repair which was a shame. So we kept the door off it that is what you see on top of the before picture. We looked it up and it seems to be from the early 1900's it is a Renaissance Star Buffet. It is solid wood very heavy, large dovetailed for the drawers.
This is after....I painted it silver on the doors, drawer fronts, and the side panels. Then painted the knobs copper. These are the original knobs. Then stained and waxed the outer shell.
Sanded it down, the doors on the bottom where nailed in and wrapped around to use as a hinge. That is how it was made no hinges. That was taken out as some doors where already fallen off. So we added hinges.
The sides are not doors they are glued and screwed in.
The bottom doors in front do open.
I love it! It came out just as I pictured it would:)
Royal Blue Dresser
This was the before...
I list alot of my unfinished pieces for sale until I can get to them. This was one of those. It was damaged on the top front part of the drawer and the drawer itself. So my husband repaired that and sealed up the two holes to replace it with a single knob to fit the other two single knobs on the top drawer. Sanded it down......
Then here is the after....
Royal Blue .....
Can't tell it was damaged....
painted the handles silver....
Looks real nice, I love those two colors together....
